Topping out of the new Royal Liverpool Hospital

Posted 20 December 2015

Santa Claus came to town a little earlier this year when he took part in the topping out ceremony at the new Royal Liverpool Hospital.

He dropped in to add some festive cheer to the event together with Liverpool’s Deputy Lord Mayor Councillor Roz Gladden who also took part in the celebration to mark the £335 million building reaching its highest point.

When it opens in 2017, the new Royal will be the largest hospital in England to have all ensuite single bedrooms for inpatients; enhancing privacy and dignity for its patients and reducing infection risks. It will also have one of the biggest emergency departments in the North West.
